I had won a tricky tray $50 coupon for this place from a Down Syndrome event. The gift card coupon was in an envelope inside a picture frame therefore it doesn t state their agreement with the fundraiser committee. When I called to redeem the gift they stated that I cannot use it for a trial class ($25 each per child) since it states on the paper that it can only be used for a semester enrollment or party. If I had seen the paper (which I stated was inside a frame when it was raffled off) I would have never tried to win this bogus prize. The lady said I can use this $50 coupon only to pay for a $200+ enrollment classes or a $350+ party ... which means they didn t really donated this for a child to actually use for a class but so they can lure you into paying more! That is such a gimmick and totally defeat the whole purpose of the donation. They told me I have to pay for the trial class instead of being able to use this coupon.. something I m sure they can work around. They just lost 2 potential customers that could have enjoyed the class and actually enrolled bc they are trying to milk you as much as possible of money. I will be emailing the person that donated this raffle prize , mentioning this to the event committee , writing reviews on every possible sites and telling every mothers I know that there are better options out there.. warning people of how low and sneaky this place had shown. It s so crazy that they won t honor the amount on the coupon considering this was for a Down syndrome fundraising event.

Review update:
Received a response from management of this place. I understand that people book parties and enroll children to this place but I m still not understanding why the recipient of the raffle prize for a Down Syndrome fundraiser cannot use the $50 coupon as they wish. What if they don t have the $240+ or $350+ to have parties here or enroll but would like their child to experience the place in the form of a trial class? Or they live too far but wouldn t mind the one time experience to enrich their child s artistic inclinations? You can say that you make donations to fundraisers all the time but if your conditions have so much limitations then your best intentions are lost in the process. I will not be endorsing or ever coming to this place.. and will make sure to continue to share my experience with this facility to other moms both in person and online forums I belong to. This is the kind of underhanded schemes I detest from children facilities with conditions in fine prints . It s $50! Just let a family use their coupon.
Also, I tried to use this coupon way before the one year time expiration.
